Cardi B shot to fame in 2015 after appearing on the VH1 reality show Love & Hip Hop: New York.<\/p>\n

Having already gained prominence on social media, she went on to release mixtapes and guest on other rappers’ hits before releasing her own debut album.<\/p>\n

Robin Murray of Clash awarded, external<\/a> her second album 7\/10, writing: “Turning the focus back to music, Am I The Drama? attempts to pin down the chaos of her life, and – in the most part – succeeds.<\/p>\n

“This is a record that feels like an exhalation, a long-awaited memoir that refuses to blot out the truth. [It] doesn’t flinch from the explicit, and embraces discomfort.”<\/p>\n

Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Alm\u00e1nzar, has remained in the headlines in the years since her first album.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, she was cleared of assault by a Los Angeles jury<\/a> after a security guard sued her for $24m (\u00a318m).<\/p>\n

Emani Ellis had alleged that the US rapper cut her cheek with a 3in (7.5cm) fingernail and spat on her outside an obstetrician’s office in 2018.<\/p>\n

Cardi B has had three babies since the release of her debut album and has just announced she is pregnant with her fourth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardi B shot to fame in 2015 after appearing on the VH1 reality show Love & Hip Hop:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147467,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-147466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
